Main Aur Mrs Khanna

Main Aur Mrs Khanna is a combined venture by Sohail Khan Productions and UTV Spot Boy. Their last venture Kisaan failed to set box office on fire but this one promises to be a blockbuster with star cast consisting of unmatchable Salman Khan, younger brother Sohail Khan, lady of the season Kareena Kapoor and comedian No 1 Govinda. Movie also has Preity Zinta in a special appearance. The music has been composed by talented duo of Sajid-Wajid. The duo has given music for Salman’s recent movies like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and the latest Wanted. The music of these movies proved to be a hit with the masses. Going by the track record of the combination, an expected hit is in pipeline.

 The album starts with 'Don't Say Alvida' which is nothing if not ear pleasing, simple and sweet melody. It is a beautiful composition that is sure to tug at your heartstrings. We can’t really say, it is an outstanding and innovative tune but yes, it is definitely pleasing and will stay with you for a while. The composition will remind you of Jatin-Lalit and Nadeem-Shravan era. Sonu Nigam has done a commendable job. This song also has a sad version sung melancholically by Shreya Ghoshal. Quite an emotional song it is.  

 The next number, ''Happening'' is quite a happening track. It is a dance number that has been picturised on glamorous Priety Zinta. The song is more like a techno qawwali. Voice has been rendered by Sunidhi Chauhan and I must say she is in top form. ‘Rabba’ has been sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and this is as soulful as it can get. It is a heart-wrenching song with sad lyrics. ‘Tum Ne Socha’ is kind of soft rock love ballad and slowly it grows on you.

 The album ends on a high note with funny and situational theme song, 'Mrs Khanna'. All in all, movie has potential to be a musical hit and you can go for it.
